"There's a certain nostalgia and romance in a place you left." ~ author David Guterson, born 1956

Diners ... a favorite of locals and weary travelers, sharing theirjoys and sorrows over a steaming cup of coffee. Diners area comforting haven, a slice of nostalgia to go with that sliceof cherry pie, especially on a rainy evening.

Here, the Hamilton Family Restaurant (known as the "Ham Fam"),a '50s era landmark in the West End of Allentown, Pennsylvania, beamsit's retro neon welcome during a rainy September twilight.

"beguiled by summer" video posted!

I posted my new video "beguiled by summer" on August 19, 2018.

Who isn’t beguiled by summer, my most favorite of seasons, with its bright and hopeful mornings that segue into brilliant afternoons that wrap up with the softest of evenings, perfumed by honeysuckle and tinged with the chorus of crickets to tuck you in? There’s a summer place in all of our hearts!

“Theme from a Summer Place” by Percy Faith and His Orchestra sets the mood for this celebration of summer showcased in my original photos. The song was the number one hit for nine weeks on the Billboard Hot Chart in 1960.

My greatest joy as a photographer is harmonizing my favorite original photos to music to create a lasting snapshot of the season. Enjoy! …

About Me

Hi! I love creative writing and also have a passion for nature and landscape photography. I love capturing the beauty and whimsy in nature. There's beauty all around us, we just have to look for it in the simplest things!

My love of creative writing began in about third grade. Creative writing is still my first love in the arts but in recent years has been joined by nature photography. My love of photography grew out of walking the trails and paths of eastern Pennsylvania where I live. One day a few years I thought, why am I not capturing this beauty in photos?

My favorite photo captures are sweet white-tailed deer, beautiful landscapes and some cool streetphotography. My greatest joy in photography is making videos of each season with my original photos set to music.

At some point I want to dabble in watercolors ... I think painting your photos would be very cool, though I have a very long way to go and lots to learn to be able to do that!:) I do very much enjoy paintography, giving a painterly effect to my original photos.

I love singing and listening to many types of music, especially blues, jazz, rock n roll and country. My favorites include all things Elvis Presley! Also, Tom Jones, Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Bruce Springsteen ... the list is endless and eclectic:) I frequently incorporate song titles into the tiles of my photos if I think I photo is in sync with a song.

My favorite movies have to be romances as well as vintage black and white films. Topping my list is Gone With The Wind, then also Wuthering Heights, A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, Picnic, How Green Was My Valley, King Creole, Jailhouse Rock, Brian's Song and When Harry Met Sally.
